英语六级(CET6)阅读理解模拟练习题及答案(4)

　　答案解析：

　　1. 由题干关键词the characteristics of todays newspaper定位至第一段最后两句Newspapers,have been a true random-access medium-readers can move easily and quickly through the different sections of a newspaper,.And because a newspapers software consists of a common language, it possesses a universal and timeless quality.报纸已从最初的手工印刷发展到随机存取，读者可以在几天或数周后方便、快捷地浏览报纸的各个版面。和以前的报纸比较起来，现在的报纸使用一门通用的语言，因此具有大众化和不受时间限制的特点。A)是对原文的转述，故为正确答案。这里的random-access意为随机存取，timeless意为永久的，不受时间影响的.

　　2. 由题干关键词survival in the competition定位至第一个标题What Did the Growth of TV News Mean to Newspapers?下第二段。该段第二句Newspapers are a portable, convenient medium.和最后一句中的newspapers are proving surprisingly adept at reinventing themselves for todays readers分别与题干中的convenience 和 adaptability表述一致。故B)为正确答案。

　　3. 由题干关键词classified定位至第二个标题What Exactly Is News and How Does It Work?下第一段第二、三句But for the most part, news usually falls under one broad classification-the abnormal.和第三句It is human folly, mechanical failures and natural disasters that often make the news. 在很大程度上，资讯通常泛指异常情况。也就是：人类的蠢行、机械故障以及自然灾害打造了资讯。因此D)为正确答案。这里的abnormal意为异常的，反常的，folly 意为愚蠢的行为、思想.
